the no cry sleep solution???

Has anyone read the no cry sleep solution for toddlers& preschoolers? I saw it tonight at Barnes & Noble and was going to buy it but wondering if it really works. My DD will be 3 in December & still sleeps in our bed. She will sleep in her bed but I have to lay down with her until she falls asleep then she wakes up an hour after she's in there so I go back in and lay down with her & wait till she's asleep then repeat the whole thing, after 3 times she ends up in our bed again! So has anyone had any experience with this book? I'm desperate! I'm due with another DD in November & would like to have her in her bed by then!

That is tough! I've read some of that, I like Dr, Weissbluth and the Healthy Sleep Happy Baby book. From what I've read, it seems like we have to be willing to deal with some crying and that is really hard!

I have a 2.5 yr old who I have the exact same routine as you do! Hes coslept since birth and I also have a 6 month old who sleeps in a rock n play sleeper that he is quickly outgrowing. I read the No cry sleep solution....but honestly the ideas in the book are pretty much what you already doing. Laying with the child, sitting in their room with them etc.....Only problem is when its the middle of the night I dont have the capability to spend hours in his bed to put him back to sleep with my 6 month old waking every 2-3 hours as well so he always is in our bed. You might try and see if you can get the book at your local library. I ordered mine off Amazon and Im sure it would be cheaper than getting it at the book store. Good Luck and you are not alone!!

Thanks beffie! Yeah I'm actually getting the rock & play for the next baby, do you like it? Cause I'm determined to not put this baby in the bed with us! But I will be breast feeding so I want her close & like the looks of the rock & play! Yeah I have tryed everything to get her into her bed at night & by the 3rd or 4th time of going on there & getting her back to sleep I give up! Because it turns into a night of no sleep! I think at this age there is no crying it out either. I don't know what else to do, everyone's like " she'll sleep in her bed when she's ready" I'm like well it needs to be now!!! Does your oldest wake up when the 6 month wakes up to feed? I'm kinda worried about that also.

I LOVE the rock n play sleeper! My only complaint is that he loves it a little too much...Im afraid of the habit I am going to have to break as he quickly is becoming too large for it lol

I will say that the first month or so was rough after the baby was born. Having a newborn waking every 2 hrs with a 2 yr old in our bed was anything but conventional. My 2 yr old would wake up and then not go back to sleep, he was waking at like 3 am then would be till 6 am laughing and rolling around in the bed..tickling me and DH, etc. It was a little of a nightmare BUT I dont want to scare you too much bc after about one really really rough month things normalized and now he doesnt wake at all when the baby wakes. And there have been times when the baby will cry out really loud or be difficult to settle right away and my 2 yr old sleeps through it all!

I still desperately would like to have my own bed back! And I dont know if I really believe the whole theyll sleep in their own bed when their ready thing...my niece is 4 1/2 and still sleeps in the bed with her parents. I dont think I can do this till kindergarten!! Before the baby came we had him starting the night in his toddler bed that is next to our bed (lowered our bed to floor also) just to get him used to sleeping in it while still having us close and even that didnt work so I have no clue what to do!!

Lol I've thought the same thing about the rock n play sleeper, I'm like what if I can't wean her out of it, maybe I should just bring her home & put her in the crib! But I like having the baby close to me the first few months so I def want one but hope she will transition into a crib easily! If I figure out how to get my DD in her own bed all night I will let you know! I really hope this one doesn't end up in our bed, it's just our firstborn had colic the first 6 months of her life and by the time she was done screaming & hurting at night it was easier to just let her sleep with us cause I felt bad cause she had been crying for 4 hours & needed rest.

Well he does take all his naps in the crib, only sleeps at night in the rock n play sleeper so maybe it wont be a hard transition like I think. The only good thing about my 2 yr old still being in the bed is there is no way I can cosleep with my 6 month old....a toddler and a baby all in the same bed is just not a safe plan obviously lol Once he grows out of the rock n play he will just have to sleep in the crib, no way around it, so thats a good thing at least!!

I love all the no-cry solution books. I won't promise it's an instant fix, but some of the advice in it has really made our lives so much more bearable. My22 month old was/still is a horrible sleeper. I think if I followed the ideas in the book more consistently we would have even more success but I'm due in six weeks with our 2nd and as weird as it sounds, it's easier to just deal with how things are going right now than to work to make a change at the moment.
